KDE: XnView doesn't use user system font

I have the same issue on Antergos (Arch based). Not using KDE though, installed with XFCE but I'm using i3 window manager.

Running

Code: Select all

lsof -p $(pgrep XnView) | awk '/fonts/ {print $NF}'

I get

Code: Select all

/usr/share/fonts/TTF/NanumGothic-Regular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DroidSansJapanese.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/NotoSans-Regular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/AdobeBlank-Regular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/GoudyBookletter1911.ttf


Therefore, font XnView seems to be using is /usr/share/fonts/TTF/GoudyBookletter1911.ttf which is very close to Courier News.

I tried "qt5ct" (adding export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" in ~/.profile) but the font changes for the system but not XnView.
It seems the Qt library uses a default font instead?

3 days of trying. Any idea?



EDIT: I noticed these two lines in XnView output in terminal, could be related?

Code: Select all

Fontconfig error: line 39460095: syntax error
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
